Essentially, everyone needs to be protected, including suppliers to the government. The enforcement has to include follow-up audits to ensure that they are not losing contracts in the future simply because they've blown the whistle. It would be very difficult for a person such as Mr. Garrett.
I would like to pause here to say “best wishes” to him and to also note how courageous he is to be coming forward in telling this story, which really is a horror story.
Suppliers are in a vulnerable position, as much as anybody. I think there have to be ongoing audits just as a regular part of the practice of the commissioner and, especially in a case like this, follow-up audits, essentially keeping the case open so that a supplier continues to be protected from retaliation going on into the future by auditing whether bidding on contracts has been fair or whether they have subtly been taken off the list—because it's so easy to do.
